Apparently you have missed all the stories of genocide in the last couple decades when you were at Camp Kumbaya

Yes when you are placed in charge of children you are given implicet trust too ensure their saftey. What was done to this? I am curious. Was there a protocal dealing with this type of situattion? They have protocals for fires and all sorts of natural distastors. These shootings are not an unknown occrurance so what did they do to mitigate it?

Semper Fidelis, Semper Liber.

I spit at lots of people through my computer screen. Not only does it "teach them a lesson" but it keeps the screen clean and shiny.

Just for the masses, where would be the forum where these things can be discussed? I did not see a gun control / gun laws forum.

- There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
- Idealistically, everything should work as you planed it to. Realistically, it depends on how idealistic you are as to the measure of success.
- Better to be a pessimist before, and an optimist afterwords.

Huh?

perhaps many of us are thinking about other things right now. Like what a hollow and heartbreaking Christmas this will be for all of these families. How the heartache will continue for untold years. What a sad day this is.

A key point may be that the shooter was a teacher's kid. I work in a building with all sorts of protocols, but tonight I sent my kid up to my office with my key to the building. Cops know her. Heck, everybody has known her since she was little. She even drives my old car, which is also familiar to security personnel even if she doesn't have my hang-tag. Unless I told them differently, the ordinary rules wouldn't apply to her because she's my kid.
